Over 150 golfers will be locked in a web of top golfing action this Saturday as the Total Golf Charity Tournament tees off at 7am at the IBB International Golf & Country Club, Abuja.

This year’s competition will be by Stable Ford format and played over 18 holes, with about 150 golfers set to battle for the prizes on offer.

The tournament aims to raise money for provision and upgrading of infrastructure in some  local charities as part of the company’s social and corporate  responsibility.

All the participating golfers are expected to make voluntary donations as participating fees, with the amount raised to be added to a special fund set aside by Total and presented to some identified  charity organizations.

According to the sponsors, funds from this year’s event are to be be donated for refurbishment of  the Zaamar Institute, Abuja, a learning ability centre for children with autism.

“Total E&P Nigeria is proud to continue supporting such initiatives aimed at giving back to society”, said Nicolas Terraz, Managing Director of Total E&P Nigeria Ltd.

Two Charities in Lagos benefitted from proceeds of this initiative in 2013. They are, the Ajofa Special Education Foundation for the Deaf and the St. Kizito Clinic, Idi-Araba.
